Abstract
Disclosed is an optical probe of an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The optical probe of the OCT system includes: an optical fiber receiving light generated from a light source and transferring the received light to a plurality of lenses and receiving light reflected from tissue from the plurality of lenses and transferring the received light to an optical coherence system; a plurality of lenses including a first lens positioned at a distal end of the optical fiber and a second lens positioned at a predetermined point in a longitudinal direction of the optical fiber; and a sheath capable of accommodating the optical fiber therein.
